After his own car has been delayed by mechanical trouble, Joe Boyer takes over the 4th-place-running Duesenberg of teammate Lora Corum at 111 laps and charges up to the lead by lap 177, winning at a record average speed of 98.234 mph. It is the first win for a car equipped with a supercharger. Throughout history, relief drivers generally do not receive credit, but due to the fact that Corum started and Boyer finished, officials decide to consider them co-winners.
